I am a learner of English. Sometimes I see an article (a and the) before the noun (life) but sometimes I also see the noun without any article. So I am confused when should I use an article before the noun and when I should not. Please check the examples and let me know are they correct?
Examples:
His life is an awesome life.
I want to get a beautiful life.
I like the life he lived.

"Life" can be a countable noun.
The examples you listed above are all grammatically correct, though number 2 is little unnatural.
The expression "to get a life" does not mean to somehow obtain the state of being not dead, but rather, to do something worthwhile. For example, you can tell a person who stays at home all day to "get a life", telling him to get out and do something (get a job, find a hobby, and so on).
